You need to jump on that! If it were closer, I'd do you wrong and pick it up for myself.

Most of the Fleetsides were long beds because they were work trucks, long bed=more payload. If a guy wanted a gentlemans truck they got a stepside. I have always heard the short Fleetsides had the low production numbers. If you can get relatively rust free parts from each and the 1K in new parts its a steal. Even the "bad" one looks like it could have some good parts for someone with a really rusty one.
